Hey Gang! If you are concerned with shopping small this Black Friday, consider shopping at Social Threads. This online boutique is owned by two New Jersey moms who are definitely good people.

Boon Supply is a brand that initially hooked me on their solid selection of (what I'll call) Prettier Home Essentials, but they're also a brand I'm happy to share for one other huge reason: they donate 40% of all earnings to a fundraiser/organization of your choice. We love brands who are committed to giving back, and have been really...
One topic that keeps coming up — whether at work or in my personal life — can basically be boiled down to "holidays already?!"
Depending on to whom I'm speaking, it's either, "holidays....ALREADY???" or "holidays already!!!" and while the tonal inflection varies, the element of surprise is the same.
Ready or not, here they come.
The specific question I get the most...
Welcome to our Black-Owned Business Favs of October!

It's time for one of our very favorite series here at TME: Black-Owned Business Favs of the Month! So. Many. Tempting. Things. Gah!
